Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Garston Lock, Kennet and Avon Canal Garston is the only remaining original example of a turf-sided lock (others have been restored with varying degrees of originality). The sides are not built of brick (expensive) but left just as sloping turf. Built probably around 1723 as one on about 20 turf-sided locks on the kennet navigation. Rails (the brown ones) were added about 1900 by Great Western Railway for safety. Rails (white ones) added in 1990's. Also seen is a WW2 gun emplacement. These are found on the north side of the canal to defend against an potential invasion from the south. |
